Kim Jong Un outlined new military goals and next-stage nuclear deterrent plans at the political congress held every five years, amid ongoing sanctions and international scrutiny.
- The WPK's Ninth Congress opened in Pyongyang yesterday with Kim Jong Un speaking, as reported by Korean Central News Agency, outlining nuclear and national priorities.
- Late last month, a missile test signalled the build-up whose plans Kim said the congress would clarify, amid ongoing nuclear development and Western sanctions.
- Pyongyang's past processions have displayed the regime's newest and most potent weapons, while Kim was accompanied at recent weapons tests by Ju Ae, his daughter and likely successor.
- Kim framed his country's external status as irreversibly changed, saying it had also solidified its status externally, while his appearance with China's Xi Jinping and Russia's Vladimir Putin last year underscores elevated ties.
- Observers and satellite imagery analysts will closely monitor military parades for signs of shifts in North Korea's military bearing, and there is close attention on whether Ju Ae receives official party titles at the congress.
